Farting Police Discover Pot Factory

A farting police officer is the reason why a cannabis factory has been discovered.

The policemen from Leicester, England only recognized the smell of pot when they wound down their car windows to try to escape the fumes of a fellow officer breaking wind.

The farting officer at the center of this story was on a high-protein diet after taking up body building.

Whether you’re a believer in fate or not, this is a remarkable set of circumstances that led to what has been dubbed an impressive collar.

A police spokesperson had this to say: “It was a good collar and it was all down to this officer and his flatulence,”

It certainly seems to upstage the 640 cannabis lollies that were discovered in a New York drug raid.

Upon noticing the distinctive aroma of cannabis, the policemen actually asked their farting colleague what he’d been eating, according to an article from Police Federation magazine:

“They asked their colleague in the back what he had been eating, and after fits of giggles and denials, they realized the cannabis smell was in the air in the street outside.”

Their noses then led the three officers to a house that held over $18,000 worth of pot.

Hearing about a positive outcome involving farting is a refreshing change from stories about farting being used during arguments.

Seven people have been arrested in connection to the incident.

The occupants of the house must have been in shock when the police raided the house simply because of their colleague’s flatulence.

After all, the story does sound more like an incredibly bad Scooby Doo storyline rather than a real life event.

Though it seems unlikely that the cannabis growers would have had time to think of the “Id have gotten away with it too…” line when their house was unexpectedly inhabited by policemen.

Never before, and probably never again, will a farting police officer be the reason why a large cannabis factory was discovered.
